Basketball: new commitment for Virtus Siena, Spezia arrives
After the difficult away match in Arezzo, another challenging weekend is expected for ACEA, which tomorrow, Sunday 20 February at 6 pm, is expected to play at home against Spezia Basket Club.
With 26 points the Ligurians are third in the standings alone behind the two teams from Montecatini. Since the resumption of the championship they have achieved two successes out of three games played, only falling away to Agliana. In the first leg the La Spezia players won 85-73.
Virtus arrives at the meeting still locked, still having to deal with several absences to which is added that of coach Spinello; Braccagni and Papi will sit on the bench instead of him. On the other hand, the new face of Virtus will be available, Davide Drigo, who has only just joined the team a few days ago.
“In Arezzo the boys did their best, winning was an impossible feat given the conditions, but we put in a great performance – comments coach Andrea Spinello – We fought for the whole match. Too bad for the goal difference, which we managed to equalize anyway: a result that is anything but predictable given the numerous absences “.
“After the two in Montecatini, Spezia is the best equipped team in the championship – says Spinello in view of the commitment, which unfortunately he will not be able to participate in personally – They have one of the strongest point guards in the C Gold, Balciunas, and very good wards so come on long. It will undoubtedly be a difficult match. My assistants, whom I trust a lot, will be able to handle all situations in the best possible way. Come on guys!”.
